Description
Consider the number triangle shown below. Write a program that calculates the highest sum of numbers that can be passed on a route that starts at the top and ends somewhere on the base. Each step can go either diagonally down to the left or diagonally down to the right.
3 8
8 1 0
2 7 4 4
4 5 2 6 5
In the sample above, the route from 7 to 3 to 8 to 7 to 5 produces the highest sum: 30.
The first line contains R (1 <= R <= 1000), the number of rows. Each subsequent line contains the integers for that particular row of the triangle. All the supplied integers are non-negative and no larger than 100.
A single line containing the largest sum using the traversal specified.
5
7
3 8
8 1 0
2 7 4 4
4 5 2 6 5
30
Huge input, scanf is recommended if you are using C++.
如果从数字堆的顶部出发,那么每次都有两个选择(无法用贪心),要一个个的试验一次,那么时间的复杂度是O(2^k),k为数字堆的层数。换一种思路,如果从底部出发,每次都选上层相邻比较大的数跟自己相加,这种的贪心策略可以保证结果的真确性,而且复杂度为O(k^2),k为数字堆的层数。
#include <stdio.h>
#define maxn 1005
int v[maxn][maxn];
int main()
{
int n;
int i, j;
long temp;
scanf("%d", &n);
for (i=0; i<n; i++)
{
for (j=0; j<i+1; j++)
{
scanf("%ld", &v[i][j]);
}
}
for (i=n-2; i>=0; i--)
{
for (j=0; j<=i; j++)
{
temp = v[i+1][j]>v[i+1][j+1] ? v[i+1][j]:v[i+1][j+1];
v[i][j] += temp;
}
}
printf("%ld\n", v[0][0]);
return 0;
